Form: 5/0-

Temple City¹⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Alan Casey⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 76

25/1

Fairly useful maiden (stays 11f) who finished well held on each of his last 2 starts in handicaps for Karl Burke during the summer. Changed hands for 7,000 gns in October/gelded and whilst he's not the easiest to assess, market confidence would look significant. Yard also saddle Dahab.

Form: 33/8257-

Wrob And Wryan²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A Lee| OR: 73

7/2

Lightly-raced gelding. Good fifth of 14 in maiden (11/1) at this course (8f) 21 days ago, ridden over 1f out and keeping on. Step up in trip worth exploring on that evidence.

Form: 6045-

Bloom Vega²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Shane Kelly| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 74

9/2

Fairly useful filly. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. 9/2, creditable third of 12 in maiden at this course (12f) 23 days ago, fading final 100 yds. Should be thereabouts again returned to this shorter trip.

13/2

Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Creditable third of 13 in maiden (11/2) at this course (8f) 42 days ago. Worth another crack at this sort of trip and she's an each-way player.

8/1

Fair filly. 15/8, below form eighth of 13 in maiden at this course (8f) 42 days ago, finding nothing. Previous C&D second was up there with the pick of her efforts and she's respected if bouncing back.

Forecasts

Dahab (5/4), Wrob And Wryan (7/2), Bloom Vega (9/2), Quatrain (13/2), Sacred Oath (8/1), Whisper A Prayer (14/1), Temple City (25/1), On The Way (150/1), Prom Queen (150/1), Siouxpercharged (150/1), Ravelli (200/1), Our Lucky Lady (250/1)

DAHAB arrives on the back of a pair of solid runner-up efforts here last month and more of the same could be enough to see him deservedly get off the mark back at this longer trip. Bloom Vega and Sacred Oath head up the dangers, whilst it will be interesting what the market makes of Temple City on debut for Denis Hogan.
